Alice Arja
International Curriculum and Education Director

Alice Arja had her Professional Qualification Course completed at the Centro de Dança Rio, having danced at the Cia de Dança Rio in the role of Giselle, Raymonda, Paquita and others. Her deep love for the dance and for teaching made her specialize in the Classical Dance Technique in methodologies such as English, Cuban, and Russian, as well as the Curriculum Training ABT (NY / USA). With that, she created her own pedagogical system (SEAA), created for her institution and now applied in several Dance Schools in Brazil and abroad. She is currently the Artistic Director at the Art and Dance Center of Campo Grande, which has implemented her teaching system. She also has a specialization in Children's Dance, Terminology and Codification of Classical Dance. Her experience in classical repertoires has allowed her to become a specialist in reassembling traditional ballets such as Giselle, Coppelia, Don Quixote, and others. With the formation of the Cia de Ballet do Rio de Janeiro, she went on to be a choreographer of schools, companies, experimental groups, TV commercials and commissions in the carioca carnival. Alice’s company has its own repertoire created by her and other renowned international choreographers. Currently she is the Official Representative in South America of the Miami City Ballet and Brussels International Ballet School as well as the International Curriculum Consultant for Sanctuary of the Arts and the Inter-American Choreographic Institute.
